In honor of this year’s Academy Awards, which gets started at Sunday at 8 PM EST on ABC, I thought I’d show off some of the portraits our photographers have taken of the 2010 nominees over the years. And then, out of curiosity, I started researching which previous nominees and winners our photographers have shot. The grand total? 76 performers and 12 photographers. (And I don’t doubt I missed a few.)
So here are the current nominees. And below that is a link to massive slideshow of nominees and winners past. In many cases, the same performer was shot by more than one of our photogs, so I included the same person more than once because, you know, it’s fun to compare and contrast.

Hi:
Wonderful slide show.
It would be interesting to see it grouped so we could see the same actor/actress photographed by the different photographers. Adrian Brody was photographed by 6 or 7 of your photographers. I’d love to see those in sequence or on one page.
Thanks,
Chip Mitchell
Hi, Chip. I just reorganized and updated the slideshow so that all photos of the same person are displayed sequentially. That’s how I had initially planned to do it, but there was a small Picasa learning curve I had to deal with. Thank you for the push!
